My work is 'Unfinished Stories'. Life is always in motion, every moment creates a sense of place or personality. Having travelled and worked all over the world, my photography is informed by my view that we are more the same than we are different - yet differences reveal our unique stories. Details matter.I seek intimacy, rapport with and understanding of the subject, whilst asking questions about who people are, what they're doing, and what concerns them. I deliver to the best standard that I know how: technically, artistically, respectfully, ethically.The aim is to fairly represent the subjects of my work, whilst challenging clients and audiences with engaging and creative story-telling.In the words of Hiroji Kubota, "I think everybody has a great drama to talk about. Everybody". I have worked, visited and photographed on every continent except Antarctica (on the bucket list!), with special affection for Asia Pacific.I have an MA in Photography from Falmouth University, working on a long-term documentary on Cambodia called 'Unfinished Stories - From Genocide to Hope'. https://www.mickyatesphotography.com/Cambodia/Unfinished-Stories-Khmer/
